It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Do you not see your people? When they constructed the Kaaba, they reduced it from the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Sayyida said: O Messenger of Allah! So why do you not rebuild it upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If your people had not only recently abandoned disbelief (I would have done so). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then I think that the reason the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not touch the two corners of the Kaaba on the side of Hatim is because that side of the Kaaba was not upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and his intention was that people should perform the full circumambulation of the House of Allah and circle behind the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
